lo all tlf/'mm 'it may concer/i:

Be ity known that l', 1li-romane 'li-"Aem'rins, e subject et the King oi' Norway, and irresdent 0i" lllhite Plains, county of lllestchest'er, und State of blew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clesps, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

rl`his invention relates more particularly other` tickets as well :is other objects.

lThe primary object of the invention is to provide a simple and eilicient device wherei by tickets or other objects muy be properly i and detnchnbly held between clamping niembers, and the clasp or holder itself held to :in yobject or support.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device which may be made entirely' of wire, or partly of sheet metal, or otherwise constructed to adept it to be readily mede.

With th se and other objects in view, the invention will be hereinafter more particu larl'y vdescribed with reference to the accom l partying drawings, which 'forni a. part of this specification Lind Awill then be pointed ont in the claims et the end et the descrip tion.

ln the drawings, Fie

ure l is 'n troni; ele4 vetion oit one form of device embodying.. my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section, partly in e.evetion, of the device; 'nml Fig.

is e plan view of the device.

The device 1C- may comprise n bod?,r ,iori tion il, sk clamping part 'l2 and n supporting or fastening part or member Iltl. As shown 'the device inode ot two pieces ot wire ifi and l5 which twisted together for e. part of their leni, :is :it i(i,nndench hns :t coil portion 1i .forming :i spring :it 'this point and which nre oppositellv :wronged with respect 'to each other. ex-

lzicli member ls tended, us at i8. 'from the coil portion lo torni a straight, port :ind is then bent inward toward euch other so es to extend on opp site sides z et il), and one ot the members, ns let, terminates in :i` spirnl ,chunn'inn pon tion 20, and 'the other in o, spirnl portion 2l, between which members Q0 and 2l the tickt' or other objects may be held. The memdevices, or portions 2O and Q1 muy be med .iv ceiling` the wit-'e ofe'nchmenr Jr e spiral form, end each member or devn may be concaveci so that one into the, other shown best in Fig. il. @userid ot the wire, :is the clen'ipine' device il. may he inode to proie-ct outward. ns :it 212, so as to enter nn opening 23 in the memberQO. in which ense the sind projecting port wlll engage or penetrate the rticle und thereby 'securely hold the some between said members.

Any snit-able snpioortiiic menus for the device may be ilirovided und 'lor this prirpose, l construct the enpi'iortin;n member or part 123 in the form ot a safety pin by pro jecting one member. :is 14. so as to form i coil Z-l Serving' :i Spring part for the pin member Q5. while the member ifi extended to 'form a hook or szit'etv portion Q6 under which the pin me iber Q5 il adapted to be held.

Instead of forming the device entirelyY of wire it may be otherwise constructed, and instead ot forming the clamping members 2O and 21 by cruising the wire member 13 and let to terminate in n. spiral, the said clamping members may be formed of sheet metal or otherw' made so as to adapt the sinne to hold :i ticket. or other object between the sume. :ind if inode of metal a projecting port muy or muy not be ,irorided 'to engage the object held. as desiree. Y

. From the. foregoing it will be seen that?? simple and eilicient device provided in which n ticketk or other obfect may be proporly held :1nd supported on :i cnr went. or in my other desii ile locution so .fis to adapt the ssinxe lo4 hold the ticket: that ...iid device muy be inode to hold vnl-ions kinds of objects; and that seid device is simple in con struction und muy be eesilv ond cheeqtlyl made.

li'nving thus described my invention, l claim ns new :md desire te secure by Letters hit enty zil. il. device of the character described, crnnprising e. bod;w portion formed by tivo members twisted together for n part of their length und each it one end of seid body 'it-ortion forming' :i parl; or" the safety pin member. und e. the oppo, part o' twisted `portion forming n coil and terminnting in n spil-:illy arranged coil portion or member having` its snri'lue slightly con" cared to :ident one member to tit into the other,

2. .i device of the character described, comprising n body portion iorined by tivo members twisted together for e. part o .air length find .each at. one end of Seid body portion forming .tofefastening member,

and each terminating at the other ndin a spirally .arranged coil portion or member Cit one yInembe-1".to' ft, into the other.

lA devic'of the character described,

eoflnprising zs`bodygportion formed 'b two sprally aijrenge'cl coil portion or member having its surface siightly eoncaved to adapt one me'mbe` tot into the other and the end of the inner coil portion projected 15 thrmghl the central opening in the outer coily portion forming a, penetrating member.
